This definitely wont be played in heaven because well be married to the Lamb so we wont be forgetting his love toward us 🙂. It is a timeless song though.

Unfortunately, they'll be playing it for me in Hell. I'll have a nice table in front and Mike will be singing to me for eternity. I gotta change my ways, that's gonna suck.

I keep forgetting. But, somehow everyone feels no pain? I have lived and learned from all that Michael McDonald has sung.
